ACTION: Notice of realty action; sale of public land in Washakie 
County, Wyoming.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has determined that the 
lands described below are suitable for public sale by modified 
competitive [[Page 20113]] sale procedures under sections 203 and 209 
of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) of 1976 (43 
U.S.C. 1713, 1719). The BLM must receive fair market value for the land 
sold and any bid for less than fair market value will be rejected. The 
BLM may accept or reject any and all offers, or withdraw any land or 
interest on the land for sale if the sale would not be consistent with 
FLPMA or other applicable law. The lands are legally described as:

Sixth Principal Meridian

T. 47 N., R. 92 W.
    Sec. 23, W1/2NE1/4SW1/4, NW\1/4\1/4SE\1/4\SW\1/4\.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Karen Hepp, Range Management 
Specialist or Charles F. Wilkie, Area Manager, Bighorn Basin Resource 
Area, Bureau of Land Management, P.O. Box 119, Worland, Wyoming 82401-
0119 (307)347-9871.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Sale of the above land will be conducted by 
modified competitive bidding. The land sale is subject to a preference 
consideration to allow Timberline Feedlot Inc. to meet the high bid. 
Timberline requires the land to expand their feedlot. A bid will also 
constitute an application for conveyance of unreserved mineral estate, 
excluding oil and gas resources. At the time of the sale, the bidder 
will be required to pay a $50.00 nonreturnable filing fee (in addition 
to their bid) for all unreserved mineral interests in accordance with 
43 CFR Subpart 2720.
    The public sale parcel is within livestock grazing allotment number 
00034. The permittee holding the livestock grazing privileges in the 
allotment has either signed a waiver on the two-year grazing notice or 
is being served a two-year notice that the subject lands are being 
excluded from the grazing allotment. The notice is being sent with a 
copy of this Notice of Realty Action. Less than one animal unit of 
forage is being lost and no reduction in grazing preference will be 
required.
    The proposed sale is consistent with the Washakie Resource 
Management Plan and will serve an important public objective. The 
proposed sale meets the sale criteria described in 43 CFR 2710.0-
3(a)(2).
    The planning document, environmental assessment, and other relevant 
information concerning the sale are available for review at the Bureau 
of Land Management, Bighorn Basin Resource Area office, 101 South 23rd, 
Worland, Wyoming.
    Any patent issued will be subject to all valid existing rights. 
Specific patent reservations include:
    1. Reservation of rights-of-way (ROWs) for ditches or canals 
pursuant to the Act of August 30, 1890, 43 U.S.C. 945.
    2. Reservation of Oil and Gas Lease WYW60494.

    Publication of this notice in the Federal Register shall segregate 
the land from all forms of appropriation under the public land laws, 
including the general mining laws. The segregative effect will 
terminate upon issuance of the patent, 270 days from the date of the 
publication of this notice, or upon publication in the Federal Register 
of a notice of termination of segregation, whichever occurs first.
    For a period of forty-five (45) days from the date of publication 
of this notice in the Federal Register, interested parties may submit 
comments to the District Manager, Worland District Office, Bureau of 
Land Management, P.O. Box 119, Worland, Wyoming 82401-0119. Any adverse
